I have nothing to add, except my hair looks just like their crests in the morning. :D

I don't have any yet. At present I'm relying on my parents' dwindling flock. We are building a shop/barn this summer that will have a coop attached. After that, the Fibona-chick sequence will kick in. (Fibonacci) I'm planning on having about 30-40 once the flock stabilizes and I decide who I'm...

If you don't mind me asking, which hatchery?

Batesville here!

I've just about convinced myself to start a small flock of Wellies! I'm having a hard time picking because I want ALL THE CHICKENS!!! I have kept buff orps before and I adore them, and I also wouldn't mind a few RIR, Dominiques, and GLW. (I have a preference for gold/red birds apparently)...

They will probably be free to roam when I'm actually on the property/outdoors, but they will need to be in their run during the day when we are all gone. With the dog, fox, and coyote situation I wouldn't feel comfortable letting them free range all day. I've made a habit of having a gun...

I'm liking the looks of poultry netting, especially for the area I'm planning to enclose for the run. The coop will likely be entirely within the run on the back of the shop, so I can enclose the whole shebang. The coop itself will be very secure, because most of the predator problems we have...

We have small predator problems (fox, opossum, raccoon) but we also have a bad feral/roaming dog problem and coyotes. One of my nearby neighbors has fighting pits, one of which is nursing pups and roaming the neighborhood all hours of the day and night. (We've called the sheriff on them several...

I'm Jennifer. I live in N Mississippi, hoping to start my flock later this year. My daughter is graduating high school and living on campus next year, so we are going to have a little more freedom. That includes getting chickens, and growing more vegetables for market. I don't have my own...
